Born December 1988 in the little city Sassenberg next to Warendorf, which is in the north-west of Germany. My parents and me moved to Versmold as i was 5 years old. In this little town i started to play the flee at the age of 7. I was 8 years old as i played the first time on a stage. I loved this feeling. After 2 years playing the flee and get a musicial ground education, i began to learn the trompet and play in a trombonechoir. Till the age of 12 i had over 20 little gigs with my trompet. Although that i become better and better on instrument i decided to start to play drums. I liked the sound of it and the power of rhythm and groove. So my parents bought me my first drumset(age of 13). From this point i played the early time every day 2 hours. After 2 month autodidactical playing i got my first drum teacher(Ralf Stienhans). A very experienced rock-cover drummer. He showed me the important ground steps on the drum, and drummers like Terry Bozzio, Jeff Pocaro, Neil Peart and Mike Portnoy etc. . And i practiced so much that he told "you should look for a new drum teacher" after 1 1/2 year playing. At the same time i started to play drums at Ten Sing Versmold Band. In the year 2001 i began to play drums in a Speed-Trash Metal Band named Speakorpse. And with the age of 15 i started the musicial education by Antonio Amoroso, a amazing classical drummer and composer of very difficult songs for Sinfonie Orchestra, Xylophon, Marimbaphon, Guitar, Drumensambles and many more. He tought me to read drum notes and give me the classical background of playing drums. I also learned to play kettledrum. After a few month i started to play drums and Kettledrums in the CJD Sinfonie Orchestra under the direction of Michael Lempink, a good conductor and a virtuos violinist. With this Orchestra i played many showes, also in wider europe. With the age of 16 1/2 i started to give lessons in a music school called Rockworkx of D.T. Sheppert(Dieter Schäfer). A very good bassist, he was educated by Guys like Jimmy Haslip, Jerry Watts etc.. He give me a half year lessons for the e-guitar to learn some basics on this instrument. With 17 i decided to take drumlessons from Harry Bum Tschak(Harry Schwikerath), drummer of musicals like Lion King in Hamburg or Mama Mia in Essen, teacher of the yamaha academie in Hamburg and The School in Hamburg. In the year 2007 i found a Hardcore, Metalcore Bad named "Lest we Die". Till the year 2007 i played over 80 gigs with the most different bands, ensambles, orchestras, projects in the most drifferent genres. On the one side I love to play funkie, groovie things and on the other side to make fast drum solis with much technique. I make music from Classic over Jazz, Funk, Progressvie Rock, Drum’n’Base till the heaviest Metal. If i have to describe my self, i would say that i am a universial drummer. But in one year it will come the time, where i have to decide what i want to do with my live. And i really don’t know if i will be happy with a "normal job". So check me out and i hope somebody enjoy it.
